I've never got on with heated seats - on all previous cars that I've driven so equipped, turning the seat heating system has always given me the strange senstion of having wet myself. With cold leather seats this is not so marked, but I still don't use the system (the wife LOVES it).

Picked up one of my sprogs awkwardly this weekend and screwed my lower back. After a weekend of painkillers, I got in the porker to drive to work and decided to try a bit of heat therapy. Man, it was great! Didn't want to leave the car when I got to work, the heat on the lower back felt so good. Maybe there is a point to these seats that give you a massage after all....

You can get a rice based cushion to pop in the microwave and put that on your back!! Not too hot though, as it can cause more damage.

Best is a cold pack on the affected region....try frozen peas if you can't get anything from Boots....

For either, max ten minutes on, 15 minutes off.

It is a fact that heated seats are specified on US cars predominantly by drivers over 50. Also, most GM vehicles in the USA have a mode whereby you can heat the back but not the base of the seat, thus easing the pain of atheritic drivers whilst avoiding the feeling of having wet yourself.

Thanks PP - that makes me feel much better! At 40 I'm already starting to see the benefits of systems particularly appreciated by the over 50s!

'kin hell - I'd better sell the porker and buy a Toyota Corolla with matching carpet slippers...

Obviously the best solution is a harem of nubile young things equipped with a stock of unctious oils. I still think that the western society's adoption of monogamous couples as a social model was a major error.....

love the heated seats in the 911.

Wouldnt buy a car with leather seats without heated.
It the wifes saab it had the heated seats for winter but for the summer ventalated seats as well, it sucks the air through the seat and really does cool the parts air conditioners cannot reach. Does give the feeling of weeing though!

Oh stop it - already jealous with his response to the "what we do for a living" thread. If you start me thinking about the nubile hussy quotient that he "has to have around as an essential part of his business" then my chances of getting any work today will be zilch...

Honestly - what a spawny git. Do you think that his harem worry about his mileage or has he convinced them it's only a question of condition?
